Jullundur Motor Agency (Delhi) Limited's (NSE:JMA) investors are due to receive a payment of ₹2.00 per share on 27th of September. Based on this payment, the dividend yield on the company's stock will be 2.2%, which is an attractive boost to shareholder returns.
Jullundur Motor Agency (Delhi)'s Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings
If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much.

In general, we consider cash flow to be more important than earnings, so we would be cautious about relying on the sustainability of this dividend.
Over the next year, EPS could expand by 19.1% if recent trends continue. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 17% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.

Jullundur Motor Agency (Delhi) Has A Solid Track Record
The company has been paying a dividend for a long time, and it has been quite stable which gives us confidence in the future dividend potential. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from ₹0.80 total annually to ₹2.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 9.6% a year over that time. Companies like this can be very valuable over the long term, if the decent rate of growth can be maintained.
The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow
Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. Jullundur Motor Agency (Delhi) has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 19% per annum. Growth in EPS bodes well for the dividend, as does the low payout ratio that the company is currently reporting.
In Summary
Overall, it's nice to see a consistent dividend payment, but we think that longer term, the current level of payment might be unsustainable. While Jullundur Motor Agency (Delhi) is earning enough to cover the payments, the cash flows are lacking. We would probably look elsewhere for an income investment.
